This wine is exactly what I think of when I think of a California cab, and this is a compliment. Dark fruit off the bat, I got blackberry and black cherry. I also think this is pretty oaky, which is hit or miss for me, but in this case it gave a night light spiciness. Had a fuller body and good structure. Tannins present but smooth. I feel like this would be a good crowd pleaser as it was good and easy drinking. I bet it would be great with some grilled meats. — a month ago

It was interesting to compare this top Australian Chardonnay with the Dry River from New Zealand. A similar age and similar price. Straw yellow plus in colour. The nose is more citric than stone fruit with a note of roasted nuts. On the palate baked lemon with a noticeable saline note. Medium acid. Subtly. different to the Dry River - the Bass Phillip is slightly more fulsome but overall not much in it. I would call it a dead heat at 95 points each. Both are excellent. — 5 years ago

I think I bought about a half dozen of these with the intent they would all last until at least 10 years post vintage. Man was I wrong! This is a really good value Merlot. It is not the best merlot are you will ever experience, but it has A soft front, brambley middle, good acidity, and goes with a variety of foods. Still finishes with a little bit of astringency so I think this one will probably continue evolving over the next five to seven years. Asking for donations to be able to verify that statement ;) — 6 years ago

Deep ruby color with a garnet rim; cherries, strawberries, and something floral on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like tart cherries, black pepper, pomegranates, and crushed gravel with a long fruity finish. I love this wine! — 2 years ago

Beautiful eucalyptus and rose good on the nose.
More I the body, some more minty tones, exceptional cab fruit, powdery tannins, solidly integrated acidity. Blind tasted you would think this is a Cali valley wine. — 5 years ago

Light to mid Ruby in appearance - partly transparent. Raspberries, Strawberries and Cherries with spicy notes. A sweeter palate than normal with M+ intensity. Good power and drive. After a few hours still quite sweet. As I said in a previous note grapes obviously picked late to achieve ultra ripeness. Returning later - a dried red. Cherry aroma. — 3 years ago

Excellent Chardonnay. It is from Oregon- not a place I usually pick Chardonnay from. Lots of oak and fruit. Had with baked chicken. — 6 years ago
